Q: What cameras have you used?

A: I started out with my Mom's Instamatic 126 and Dad's Zeiss-Ikon 35mm.  My first SLR was a Mamiya/Sekor DTL1000. The Canon EF was way ahead of it's time, and one of the best cameras ever made. I went on to the Koni-Omega Rapid 100 and 200, Kowa 66 and Super 66, Canon F1, Pentax 6X7, Olympus XA, Mamiya RB-67 and RZ-67, Minolta Autocord, Hasselblad 500C and 500C/M, Toyo 4x5 and Mamiya 645. My last film camera was a Leica M3. My first digital cameras were the Olympus D320 and Kodak 4800. I now shoot with an Olympus E-1 and Panasonic FX05.
